My '73 came with what I believe is the battery cover that was installed during a recall. The one below also came with the car and I assume is the original? Looks like there may have been some type of hold-down strap on both ends?
Also found this box of fuses under a seat. Anyone know if this is a FLAPS box of fuses or did these come shipped with the car? Thanks Steve   |

Its a rubber band 65cm long 10mm wide. I have a picture of it somewhere. Amazingly mine is still good after 40 years.

Those short fuses are too short to fit anywhere in a 914 that I can think of. Which tells me this box is from a FLAPS.

Yes Steve, the HO Recall was for the battery acid on the cloth covered fuel lines, that replaced those in engine bay lines with rubber lines & a full rectangle batteryt cover (usually an Audi part number).
That battery cover in pic was the original 914 one & correct strap noted above. You can go to the Porsche website's Classics area, & under documents download a free pdf version of the 914 PET parts manual to see the parts & numbers & MY applicable, etc. with diagrams. BTW - for those with 914's & not sure if the HO Recall (or any other applicable to your MY 914) - they are still valid & Porsche MUST perform them at owner request if not done before by Porsche, so call PCNA with your VIN & the list of Recalls applicable, then they'll have you take to a dealer to verify not done & schedule you to do it once parts are acquired. Jeff Bowlsby's Classic 914 website has a page on the recalls to look yours up. PS - Also the O&H nailed thread "The few, the rare...." also has pix of the recall stickers on Steve G's Sahara Beige 73 & Jeff's website has various ones - if your 914 is lucky enough to be all original as is this one of Steve the OP, & all 914's are subject to the HO Recall due to the early engine fire problems. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
